This is the global version of someone "beating their child" in their backyard and then objecting that its an "internal affair" when the neighbors present objections to the treatment.
China lives on the same planet as the rest of us. And yes, it goes both ways (or all ways). Wouldn't it be nice to race to the top instead of race to the bottom in terms of human rights and quality of society?
